that was virginia governor terry mcauliffe on election night back in november. ralph northam's win in the virginia governor's race this fall was a major victory for democrats in 2017. and a defeat of the trump playbook as embraced by republican ed gillespie, the virginia republican candidate for governor. but as we saw in 2016, democrats and republicans haven't had success going head-to-head against trump himself. democrats will hope to replicate what happened in virginia across the country in 2018, of course, but with the 2020 field still wide open, who can be the democrat? the person to stand up to donald trump? for more, let's turn to virginia's governor, democratic governor, terry mcauliffe. terry, my friend. governor, my friend, thank you. you're very serious face you're giving me right now, i'm worried. what do you make of this president using this term, i guess i can say craphole, but much worse than that, describing all the countries of africa, all african countries, north africa, referring to some countries from the caribbean, poor countries where peopl

terry mcauliffe is not a normal, everyday clinton supporter. he's a long-time, deeply tied crony responsible for campaign loans that mr. mccabe's wife didn't have to pay back. secondly, something that has to be understood, the fbi and doj investigation of mrs. clinton's e-mail server was deeply flawed. you talk to anybody who is in federal law enforcement, the way the investigation was handled, the side deals, immunity deals is deeply, deeply disturbing. he was part of that. now, you notice i said that. i don't believe mueller is tainted by that. i'm not attacking the fbi in order to taint mueller. you can have two ideas in your head at the same time. one, mueller is an honorable guy that should go forward. two, the fbi messed up in the clinton e-mail investigation and may have messed up in the fiza investigation. >> terry mcauliffe did give money but it was contributions, not a loan. that would be illegal. >> i didn't mean to say it was a loan. it's contributions. $700,000 -- >> you said she didn't pay back. we don't pay back contributions. >>

obviously i'm in virginia, and what he was talking about there is that terry mcauliffe gave his pac, his political action committee, gave over $500,000 to mccabe's wife to run as a democrat for the state senate. and what -- actually i think mccabe's mistake in that race is he appeared in political literature with his wife. now, it's his wife. and that's a response a lot of people have. other people's response is it's the fbi. so you've kind of given up your nonpartisan chops at that point and the president is taking advantage of that with mccabe. >> is he supposed toby tend -- >> when it comes to firing -- >> is he supposed to pretend that he's not her husband? >> look, there's two ways that can go but when they, as a couple, made the decision that she was going to get in that race, she decided to get in that race, it was going to have consequences for an fbi agent husband. and, but no one i think would have imagined the kind of consequences we're talking about tonight. i mean, he's in the center spotlight. it's a difficult boss to be in. and there's really no shaking that partisan f
